Subject: Beautiful.
Subject: Beautiful.
The Playin Reprise section here is just pure Grateful Dead, when they bring it down to a whisper as Jerry does a cool volume swell thing on the main riff,
...
the crowd approves, starts to clap, then clap louder, then they explode with delight as the band charges into the big finish. And that's just the start of the set. I really like a lot of these 76 AUDS, on the board it's rather hissy in that section, and doesn't have near the effect of how it felt in that intimate venue. It's not the best AUD of the year but it's up there for me, it shines when it counts.

the lineage on this is all wrong I did not record this show from the balcony. No DAT was ever made by me.

Subject: Not a great recording
Subject: Not a great recording
Though I appreciate the transfer and from Charlie and the efforts of the tapers as always, this recording is just a little bit too distant to appreciate.
...
Perhaps on a big loud sound system it would be more enjoyable, but on headphones it’s hard to hear.
(3 stars is for the recording; the show itself is closer to a 5.)

Subject: Inspired, hi-energy show with a STARTLING setlist!
Subject: Inspired, hi-energy show with a STARTLING setlist!
1976 was THE year of setlist surprises and this show may be King Of Them All in that respect, as both sets feature plenty of unexpectedly-placed songs....
Right ... out of the gate, the band is rarin' to go, the playing tight, energetic and inspired. The set highlights for me are the superb reading of LLRAIN and, of course, the PLAYIN' > Drums > THE WHEEL> Meltdown Space > PLAYIN'. A truly engaging, inspired set with a great list, including a rare early-1st-set SCARLET and an equally-rare mid-1st-set SHIP OF FOOLS!
The 2nd set picks up where the 1st left off: the surprise opening of B-E WOMEN > SAMSON lets us know that the fun & inspiration of the 1st set was no fluke. LET IT GROW is a major show highlight; I absolutely love Weir & Donna's chuckling at the lyric mistake. The middle jam features a differently-colored, extremely-satisfying return to the "What shall we say" closing verse.
The short, whispering closing jam transforms into a speedier-than-I-like EYES, but Eyes itself is an engaging, exciting reading. There's virtually no outro-jam but it quickly gives way to a lovely two-minute Garcia-lead prelude into a sturdy, satisfying WHARF RAT. Whaaaaat?!? Yes, indeed.
A fine Rat outro-jam trickles, stunningly, into a completely unexpected (one-verse) THE OTHER ONE, featuring a long, wonderful pre-lyric jam.
If you think GROW > EYES > RAT > O1 was a surprise, the icing on the cake (and my candidate for the BIGGEST setlist surprise of the year) goes to the flawless transition from TO1 into THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED. Although without major fireworks during the crescendo, it's a muscular, satisfying version.....and you can clearly hear the excitment & inspiration of the band flowing effortlessly!!
The JBGOODE encore is a well-played but anti-climactic close to a surprising, superbly-played show!!
4 stars for the playing and 4 stars for the excellent AUD recording.
MAJOR thanks for the post! NOW: who's got 9-23-76?!? It's the LAST show I need to complete my 1976 CD collection....!!!
I've got 5,000 hours on CD to trade. Email me at clegg AT supernet DOT COM. Include the phrase "Grateful Dead 9-23-76" in the "subject" line.....
THANKS
